AnomalyArmor (http://anomalyarmor.ai) is a data observability platform. I got tired of being priced out of existing tools and hand-configuring per-table thresholds for every new dashboard. An AI agent sets up schema-drift, freshness, and row-count monitoring on Snowflake/Databricks in minutes, and you can ask natural-language questions when something breaks.

$5/table, about half what incumbents charge. Happy to trade a 30-day Professional trial code for honest feedback. Reply here or blaine@anomalyarmor.ai.

FastMCP is great and this post is overdue. What did FastMCP solve? Lots of code reduction, reduced complexity and the ability to streamline auth. Offloading the auth was a huge benefit. With FastMCP I could replace all my custom JWT validation and get an auth workflow with fewer steps.

Boggles my mind that this is actually a thing that still needs to be solved. Just remote into your computer (I prefer TeamViewer). That is it. One step.

I had a bad experience with greptile due to what seemed to be excessive noise and nit comments. I have been using cursorbot for a year and really like it.

Remind me in 5 years. AI tools don’t hide the fact that the output needs to improve. Calling out the obvious problems is a lazy take.

It might be lazy, but it's true, and should be repeated until people feel just as embarrassed about AI slop as they would feel about crypto.

This is common. Big company buys smaller company. Smaller company execs stay on and establish the idea of independence. Eventually smaller company execs move on and Big company fills the ranks with their employees. Nothing sinister. Just how it goes.

Having been aquihired three times by FAANG+, the biggest take away is have accelerated vesting. To do that you got be lucky or in the C-suite. Being bought out usually sounds better then reality for everyone but a few that get that accelerated vesting clause.

Is there a difference between implicit and explicit joins? No, but use an explain plan to be sure.

An IRC bot that would kindly insult project managers should they join our engineering chat channel while doing a deployment.

The correct answer is I don’t like makefiles when they are abused. They have no state yet people try use them as such and create pain for others.
